Chose Ole Miss over Arkansas.

Previously committed to Arkansas.

Robinson also had offers from Clemson, Mississippi State, USC and Vanderbilt among others.

Committed to Ole Miss on Jan. 17, 2013.

Possible playing time in 2013: It appears as though Robinson is a long, long shot to qualify for the 2013 season. If he were somehow able to make it to campus there would be a spot open for him to play that was previously held by Joel Kight. But it looks like Ole Miss will have to wait until 2015 to see him don red and blue.

Wrap-up: Robinson has a great frame at 6’4 but needs to put on about 15-25 Lbs. in order to be truly SEC-ready. He plays extremely fast on the gridiron and diagnoses the play quickly. There’s a reason that USC offered him during his junior season, he makes plays and has a very high ceiling. Great sideline to sideline support and a solid tackler, Robinson will be a big time player once he puts on some weight and does his work in the classroom.
